I know how crushing the shame is. Really.
This is my solution....
Every day I try to do something I am proud of, just one thing, and to be honest I mostly do way more than one these days....and that builds self-love. And as you learn to love and approve of yourself more, it becomes easier to look back at that shame without the crushing weight. And in time, you can even see all of the bad stuff in a positive light, because it has shaped the women we are becoming today.
Mixed tenses much? It's the untrained mind....
